Prophetic Letter for the Month of ELUL
​14th August to 11th September 2026

Dearly Beloved One,  
In this month of ELUL, it is a time of birthing, and birthing means new beginnings.  It is the month during which the King is in the field. 
I AM coming to visit you and to help you in your work and ministry. I AM going to change your life. You are crossing over. “
Go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to heaven, a people great and tall, the descendants of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the descendants of Anak?’ 
“Therefore, understand today that the Lord your God is He who goes over before you is a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to you.”  (Deuteronomy 9:1-2)
The enemy is strong, but you will be able to dispossess them. I AM the one who is going before you and I AM a consuming fire.
This is the month to celebrate the Tribe of Gad. When Gad was being born, Leah said, “A troop comes” (Genesis 30:11), which indicates increase. Also note Jacob’s blessing in Genesis 49:19, which states, “Even though a troop will trample over him, he shall triumph.” This indicates that this is a month of triumph and victory. Expect increase and help, be it from people or even angelic.
A mistrust of others or a desire to “go it alone” are because of roots of rejection or an orphan spirit. The more you are connected to - and are part of - God’s family, the more you will find yourself shifting into your true identity in ME.
Rewards begin to manifest over what you have done. Think “reward,” and ask the Holy Spirit to help you to be able to see all the good things God is giving you. You will begin to reap what you have sown. If you constantly labor and never see the reward, you’ll get burned out. You need to know how to abound. The sowing-reaping cycle is rapidly speeding up.
Rosh Hashanah Friday, September 11 (at sunset): 
5787 officially begins and End October 1, 2027
 ELUL embraces Rosh Hashanah - the Head of the Year - when 5786 become 5787, and is viewed as a "crowning" season representing a transition from preparation to manifestation. It is a time of completion.  
Tied to the Hebrew letter Zayin              the number 7 is pictured as a crown and a sword. It signifies stepping into spiritual authority, seeing hidden promises break through the dirt into reality, and walking in MY tangible favor. Isaiah 46:1 states “My purpose will be established, And I will do all that pleases Me and fulfills My purpose”.  The crown declares MY authority over every battle and every promise. As it hits the ground, it is symbolic of dominion.
I AM encouraging you to step into a higher level of ruling and reigning with ME, moving past internal struggles to exercise delegated kingdom authority. Covenant promises are now being fulfilled. Every tear, every prayer, every act of obedience, every seed planted in faith has been moving toward this appointed moment.  From promise to fulfillment, from hidden preparation to visible manifestation. “For the vision is yet for the appointed time … Though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come.” (Habakkuk 2:3)
This New Year will mark the crossing from carrying the promise into seeing the promise. You will hold your Issac.
What was hidden, prayed over, or delayed in previous seasons is seen as sprouting into plain sight, turning past visions and dreams into tangible substance. “None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be fulfilled,” declares the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 12:28)
The "crowned" aspect of the year's symbolism represents a call to understand identity in ME, press past limitations, and walk openly in MY grace and provision.
There is a transition toward structural establishment - building, restoring the breach, and maintaining spiritual altars under pressure. Every season that you have chosen to prepare, has been moving you toward the moment Heaven already established.
The Body of Christ is being prepared to sustain and feed others through shifting cultural and/or economic pressures.
Galatians 6:9 declares “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap if we do not give up.”
It will be the closing of a window of time and opening up to the next.
Happy New Year
From the King of Kings – the crown and the sword
Abba

Prophetic Word for the Month of Av
Wednesday 15th July to 13th August 2026
Dearly Beloved, 
Let the Lion Rise up inside you so you can surge ahead. I AM roaring from Zion.  Be confident that you are a mighty warrior in the spirit and more than a conqueror in all things for the joy of the Lord is your strength.  You are grafted into a great inheritance I have for you, and I AM anointing you with a warrior-overcoming calling.  Be on your guard as a watchman on the walls – be sober and be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  
The cards may seem stacked against you this month but remember that with opposition, there comes opportunities.  I have concealed a hidden light in you for a future time as you walk in righteousness before Me.  Press in and embrace Me more fully.  Cast off that which causes you to lose focus and turn away from distractions.
I have not forgotten you.  It may feel like it sometimes but be assured, I AM right here with a double blessing for you.  Do not lose confidence in Me.  I AM faithful who promised.  Embrace strength, mercy, compassion and empathy and find a balance to help realign yourself with Me and I will redeem the time you feel you have lost.  Hold fast to the hope I have for you and move more fully into the purpose to which I have called you. You are poised to cross over into the promises I have for you.
Understand that the struggles you face this month are just birth pangs, they are not something to be endured but know that I AM birthing something in you that will bless you. For your affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
The Month of Av was the time when both Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, first by Nebuchadnezzar and then by the Romans in AD 70.  Understand from this that I am pulling down old structures – old mindsets that are a hindrance to you so you can surge ahead into all I have for you.  The whole of nature is waiting.  Even the earth will contract with signs – even earthquakes - as you push through to birth.
Who can ascend the hill of the Lord – only those who have clean hands and a pure heart.  Keep short accounts with Me so that I can uproot any sin or iniquity patterns. Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Me.  
In this year of the “Vav” 5786, this 9th month is where the kingdom advances through partnerships and connections.  I AM birthing new connections for your advancement but be on your guard with whom you partner.  My Holy Spirit will guide you and will increase your wisdom and discernment.  Wait patiently for Me, defeat the giants with the sword of the spirit and the word of your testimony.
I will guide you through this month of the “Dire Straits” to a place of refreshing and I will be a wall of fire around you as you carry My glory within.  The month of Av means the Month of the Father, so
All My Love from Your Heavenly Father.
Our Response:      “How deep the Father’s love for us, so vast beyond all measure, that He would send His only Son, to make a wretch His treasure. Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer; But this I know with all my heart – His wounds have paid my ransom”.

Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Tammuz 5786
​June 16 – July 14, 2026

Dearly Beloved: 
     Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify ME.  You are the light of the world, and you are brilliant.  Your praise and worship are the keys to how much My light begins to shine in you and through you.  The more you stay in MY presence, the more light will radiate from your eyes with the fire of MY love and life. You have a prophetic song to sing.  A new song rising up that will bring you right into MY presence, and not only will your face but your whole being will radiate just by being with ME.
     You have so much potential but watch out for the blind spots and other unresolved issues.  You are going to spring ahead and excel this month in excellence and with dignity, but stay grounded because the Devil prowls around like a hungry lion waiting to devour its prey. 
      There will be delays this month which may be a bit confusing but I AM in the details.  Submit to ME, resist the Devil and he will flee from thee, as I will bring issues in your life into submission.  MY power will flow through you as you press through to “touch the hem of MY garment”.  Unadulterated praise and worship are your weapons of war and no matter what situation you find yourself in, know that I go before you, I come alongside you and I AM behind you.  I AM your greatest encourager. 
It is very important not to speak negatively about yourself or your calling this month. I have called you into MY glorious light.  By MY grace you are advancing every day in that calling.  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and I urge you, Beloved, to make the necessary adjustments in your life to keep you on track with the assignment I have given you.   I, the Lord, officially commission you; I take hold of your hand. I protect you and make you a covenant mediator for the people, and a light to the nations.
     You have a very tender and soft heart which makes you vulnerable to others but malleable to ME and it's OK.  Stay soft and vulnerable.  Do not allow yourself to be manipulated by others but surrender to ME, stay focused and I will lead you into the next stage of your spiritual journey.  I will lift you up with MY righteous right hand and underneath you are MY everlasting arms.
Your Loving Heavenly Father,
Abba

Sivan—The Third Month of the Hebrew Year 5786
​May 17th–June 15th , 2026

Dearly Beloved One,

This month of Sivan will be a month of much increase for you.  This is harvest time and you will now begin to see the first fruits of your labors. You have sown in your field of influence which will be exceedingly powerful because you have dedicated it to Me and therefore the remainder will be blessed for it is Holy. I want to bless you in every way, spiritually, physically, emotionally, relationally and financially.  

I AM pouring out a new anointing on you so you can be used in the great harvest season we have entered.  It is not just about souls saved but also about continual increase of the Kingdom in every area of society.  Expect a great outpouring.

I AM speaking to you, Beloved, of multiplication.  Dreams of the past and the words I have spoken over you which lingered and did not come to fruition, are now being resurrected by the power of My Holy Spirit during this season of Shavuot/Pentecost.  I AM the vine, I AM your source, and we will bear much fruit.  I will fill you afresh with My Holy Spirit and with power when He comes upon you with a fresh baptism.  This will happen as a result of your dedication to Me and will manifest as a massive increase in your personal life, in your city and in the cities across your nation and in the nations of the world.  We are taking back the land together, Beloved, for the Glory of My Holy Name. 

You will enjoy the abundance that is coming your way and the treasures hidden from you for a long time are going to be found and returned.  I will prosper you but not from the sweat of your brow because the offerings that you have ploughed into the Kingdom are about to pay dividends.  It is I who prospers you and gives you power to obtain wealth which you will need for I AM extending your boundaries in answer to the prayer of Jabez you have faithfully prayed.  There will be new assignments, new alignments, new fields, a new anointing and new connections.  

There are assignments that you will close and new opportunities will open.  New opportunities, new provision, new revelation, new anointing and power. You will prophecy, heal the sick and release miracles, signs and wonders with help from Holy Spirit.  Behold I make all things new.

It comes with spiritual victory, reward, honor and authority.  They represent the ultimate rewards for your faithfulness, endurance and right standing with Me.  It is a “Crown of Life” and an “incorruptible crown” given to you because you have overcome the trials of the past year.  You have had to contend with the spirit of jealousy and betrayal, but you chose to be merciful and extended grace like a river.  Stay away from negativity and conflict and don’t give up on people who have messed up. I can and will redeem and restore them. 

My Word is a sword breaking you into victory. I have declared that a window has opened over you that will enable you to see more clearly. You will go from strength to strength.

This is June, the month of the two!  The sea parted in two, Abram separated the animals in two for My covenant promises are established in your life. The Law given to Moses was in two tablets of stone. My Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.  It’s time to run through the streets and wake up My Bride.  The Bridegroom is coming, the Bridegroom is coming! Fill your lamps with fresh oil and trim your wicks. I AM coming soon and My winnowing fork is in My hand. I will clear My threshing floor and gather My wheat into the barn.
  
Be strong and very courageous for all that I have is yours and all that you have is mine.  It is your Godly inheritance.  When you speak and sing of My goodness and faithfulness, you will reap a blessing for I AM your Beloved and you are Mine.

Abba Father.

Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Iyar
Iyar 5786—The Second Month of the Hebrew Year
April 18–May 16, 2026; Counting the Omer Days 
​
Dearly Beloved:
Breaking old negative cycles in your life are hugely important if you wish to step into all I have for you in the coming years.  I have already broken them in MY resurrection power. Repent for giving into them and declare them broken in My power and then in faith, stand up, step out and break them. 
The tribe that connects to the month of Iyar is Issachar who understood the times and seasons, who knew what Israel should do.  My heart’s desire for you is to have this understanding. It will change your life.
Seek Me with all your heart and you will find Me, and I will give you more revelation and understanding.  When I do, share this manna - this fresh bread - with others.  
I AM raising up the next generation who need to hear prophecies I give to you.  Share them and do not hold back. Speak life and encouragement into MY kids.  Do not worry if you are not sure you heard ME correctly.  Be obedient to the call because I make all things beautiful in MY time.  Tell them I AM the Lord who heals, I AM the Lord who provides, I AM the Lord who is their banner of victory. 
Everywhere you go, ask and trust ME to give you opportunities to minister.  Expect fresh miracles.  Negativity will break the cycle of healing. Rebuke it and do not agree with it.  Filter your thoughts and take them captive releasing peace and freedom for yourself and for others.
Beloved, ask ME for the gift of healing and walk in alignment with ME.  Speak healing over the mind, will and emotions, over physical, emotional and mental illness.  This is an exciting month to walk more closely with ME.  It is a time to bring in the barley and wheat harvest – it is ripe.  I AM shifting you to more fruitfulness with signs and wonders.  
In this season of light and life, let your radiance shine.  You are rising and shining. Decree it and declare, “Arise and shine for your light has come” and sing songs of deliverance, “Light and life to all He brings, risen with healing in His wings”. 
This is the month of giving. If you move correctly during this month, the rest of the year connects properly.  Prosperity in all you do is linked with this month.
Do not get discouraged and disappointed with ME.  Your strength is made perfect in weakness.  I have made you strong like an ox.  Keep moving ahead and do the things I have placed on your heart and be careful to use words that release grace. Be aligned and walk with ME.  
A broken and contrite heart I shall not despise.
Your loving Heavenly Father
Abba

Prophetic word for the Month of Adar
The Twelfth Hebrew Month, February 18–March 18, 2026
Celebrating the Goodness of God
Dearly Beloved:  
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I will say, rejoice.  Adar is the month to celebrate Purim.  A month of a miraculous victory for My people over their enemies, a month I am again giving them victory in the Middle East, and it carries victory over your enemies, too.  My weapon of war was Queen Esther and because of her, a law was amended.  Laws will be amended in your nation, spiritual darkness will be broken, and I will give you favor in your land.
Celebrating your victory is key as it is a powerful spiritual weapon for you now, and you will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of your testimony.  
I am assuring you that I will make a way where there seems to be no way over North America, however impossible it seems.  I AM watching over you personally because of My great love and care for you. My covenant of peace will not be removed and I will protect you.
Victory comes first in the spiritual realm and as you celebrate My goodness towards you, it will affect the physical.  What you are in your spirit is reflected physically.   I will rise up and your enemies will be scattered.  Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
This is the month of the tribe of Naphtali, which means “sweetness to me”, and you are abounding with sweetness and with the favor of the LORD.  This is a truth you must receive in your heart, speak it out and watch it come to pass in your life.  Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous of the LORD.  Holy Spirit will help you find words of grace to fully express My goodness.  It will not only solidify your faith but will also open the eyes of others to My great goodness.
In this month of Pisces - the fishes - remember I took 5 loaves and two small fish to feed a multitude. Expect multiplication because I AM making you fruitful and giving you the ability to multiply and increase in every area of your life this month. 
Your family has presented a challenge to you recently, but it is important to celebrate them with thankfulness and the more you find thankfulness in your family and the family of God, the more you will find your true identity.  Be reassured I am restoring your family.
It is the month of the letter “kaf” which looks like a mask.  It is time to remove any masks and enter into a season of laughter; it is time to enter into the true joy of who you are.  Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice.
This is a month to overturn anxiety over your supply.  When you confess and repent of anxiety then you will see your supply, otherwise you will miss the provision that I have for you.  Remember, Beloved, I am your Jehovah Jireh, your provider, and I AM always faithful.
As you look at the times we are in right now, at home and around the world, the darkness is closing in.  Pull out any roots of depression and despair so that they have no place in you.  The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on you to bind the broken hearted and set the captives free.  If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed.
There is a gross darkness developing of the anti-Christ spirit over the nations. Don’t let any giant produce fear in you; guard against idolatry. Amalek will try to come. He is one of the giants behind the “woke” philosophy.  One of his main tactics is fear about what might happen.  Much of major media goes along with this, and when something goes against the “woke” agenda or thought, it is reported in a way to induce fear. Moses, who was born in the month of Adar, overcame Amalek by holding up his hands in faith.  Keep your “hands raised” by staying in faith and joy. Keep your eyes on ME.  Do not be afraid.
You carry a light that shatters the darkness and in this month of joy and laughter, no matter what the darkness is, laugh with ME and watch ME permeate it.   "He who sits in the heavens laughs".   I AM laughing at the futile rebellion of nations and rulers plotting against ME and MY anointed King. Divine laughter signifies MY absolute sovereignty, mocking the foolishness of human opposition and expressing supreme confidence that My plans cannot be thwarted. 
You have been born “for such a time as this” and every plan of the enemy against you has already been overturned by King Jesus.  By celebrating, you enter into that victory.
I AM breaking off all negative decrees spoken over you this past year by yourself and others.  Forgive those who uttered curses over you, put the blood of Jesus on those wrong decrees, and come into agreement with ME and break them off in His powerful name.
“I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed”. As you do this, remember that I AM raising you up to be a Leader. 
Be Blessed, Beloved, in this month of Adar 
Your Loving Heavenly Father.

A Prophetic Word for Shevat:  The Eleventh Hebrew Month of 5786
January 18th
 – 17th February 2026
Dearly Beloved:   
In this year 5786 - the year of the “vav” which means “connection” - you will spread out to the right and to the left. Your descendants, your spiritual children, will dispossess the nations.  Lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes - your vavs - your connections.  
This is the month assigned to the tribe of Asher of whom it is written “abundance of food and delicacies fit for a king will be his”.  I am providing you with sweet manna from heaven.  Abundance and overflowing goodness is yours this month.  “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”.  Abundance is on the way.  “O taste and see that The LORD is good”. 
This is also the month of trees and the sap is rising!  You are like a tree standing by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season. This is the start of a new and fruitful season for you.  It is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, the water bearer, and you carry the presence of My Holy Spirit within you and you will overflow. 
I AM also giving you new key connections this month, new mantles are falling, Elijah’s mantle is falling on Elisha who received the double portion.  This will be part of the end-time harvest.  I AM turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children’s hearts to the Father.  
Listen to me, Beloved, to what I AM saying about the youth of today and about the sanctity and value of faith which already lives in their hearts because I put it there. These young people are great believers, and they don't even know it. They are a “barrel overflowing with faith” just waiting for a spark to ignite it into a great flame. 
How do you find the path to these precious believers? I will place them across your path. I am calling you to act, to fulfill your purpose, according to your ability and your goal is to ignite that spark. There is no need for religious rhetoric because, whether you believe it or not, pardon the pun - faith in them already exists. It is waiting to be liberated.
Speak to the youth of today with firmness and sincerity wishing only the best for them. Your sincerity will make its mark. They are ready for real selflessness and sacrifice. They just need to hear you say, “run with it, run!”  They need some religious knowledge but they don’t necessarily need to understand it all. 
You need to know that these young people, this next generation, are living in despair. Despair of their spiritual condition, as they look up to heaven and cry “Where are you God?”. Their help does not come from heaven alone but also from you.  You are obligated to deliver the spark into “the barrel full of faith”, as you are that spark. You may not be aware of it, but you will be successful even if you don't see instant results.
You are the steward of my Promise which carries a significant weight of responsibility. I AM the Creator of that Promise which is a masterpiece of sanctity and faithfulness.  I am asking you to take care of it, to serve it, to guard it, to be responsible for it and respect its integrity. 
 My Promises are Yes and Amen.  It carries My approval and guarantee - not maybe, but a definite "yes" and Amen meaning "so be it," or "it is true," signifying firm agreement and trust.  It carries the guarantee that all promises find their fulfillment through Yeshua Ha Mashiach and echoes MY faithfulness, acknowledging that MY promises are real, bringing honor to Yeshua. 
Go in Peace and Blessing.  The journey on which you take is under the eye of The LORD.
Your Loving Heavenly Father.
